Wild Child (Lay Me Down) Video (MV)

When I was young some people thought I was crazy
So many dreams, unfinished, rambling and hazy
So many reckless adventures, I was a wild child
Dark spells, love potions, a fool for love
Partners in crime, mentors and instigators
Poets and painters, criminal investigators
Motorbike bike dreamers, bar stool schemers
Spiritual healers, war death dealers
Nowhere to run better keep it all inside

Lay me down, lay me down
Love can burn you, break you up spin you round
Lay me down, lay me down
Love can lift you, put your feet on the ground
Just lay me down when I'm close to the end
I'll know my sweet lover, is my best friend

I was out on the road for so long I was getting lazy
Twisting, turning and hiding, made me feel half crazy
A lonely soul who didn't know what to do
Laughing out loud, while my mind was a deeper blue
Soft spoken saints speaking legends of mystical dreamers
Silver tongued schemers, politicians fed by criminal dealers
Judges and doubters, screamers and shouters
Sisters and brothers, hiding under the covers
Nowhere to run better keep it all inside

Lay me down, lay me down
Love can burn you, break you up, spin you round
Lay me down, lay me down
Love can lift you, put your feet on the ground
If you lay me down when I'm close to the end
I'll know my sweet lover, is my best friend

Late night working in a bar feeling warm kind of hazy
You were standing beside me reaching out, I thought 'well maybe'
You told me your story and I shared mine with you
When the night was over I knew that we would make it through
They say 'players and clowns spin you round till you fall on the ground
Spend all your love leave your heart in the lost and found
Bar room love is just for Jekyll and Hyde'
I see in your eyes such a sweeter side
I've nowhere to run can't keep it all inside

If you lay me down, lay me down
My love will fill you with a sweet, sweet sound
If you lay me down, lay me down
My love will lift you when you hear that sound
If you lay me down my one true friend
This hard love journey's will reach it's end
